WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Geese shot to fame seemingly overnight, which can only mean one thing – we must don our tinfoil hats and assume something is up. Or at least, that’s what the vibe is currently amongst the chattering indie classes, who think this must be some ‘industry plant’ thing going on, or in one instance, that the…

Madonna promised that she’d be leading us back to the club (where you can dance – for inspiration, c’mon!) when she said a sequel to the mighty Confessions of a Dancefloor was coming our way. Well, now it is totally official, with ‘Confessions II’ getting released on July 3rd. And there’s a teaser to whet…
-
Well, we told you that Boards of Canada had started dropping clues, and now it seems official that they are indeed back, having uploaded a video to their official channels (as have Warp Records) simply called ‘Tape 5’. The clip is similar to the VHS cassettes that had been sent to a select few, except…
-
We’re new to Spacemoth and on the strength of the new track, we’ve been missing out! Spacemoth is actually Maryam Qudus who is out on the West Coast of the US, and is a producer as well as a fine musician. There’s a new album coming out called ‘Inward Eye’ which you can get stuck into…

Jasmín is new to us, but we’re always in the market for some heavy techno and dancefloor action, and her new track ‘It’s Girls Night’ caught our attention, being all deep and sophisticated as it is. She’s released this with Fabric Originals and the release – with other tracks we think – will get a…
-
We played ‘Roamer’ by Spill Tab on our latest radio show, and really liked it. Apparently, she’s from Thailand and has relocated to Los Angeles to make some really fun Alt Pop (we’re not entirely sure of the genre there, honestly), with bedroom production DIY chic mixed with some New Wave goodness. Well, we thought…

To simply refer to Asha Bhosle as an iconic singer doesn’t quite capture the influence and reach of her towering voice in Bollywood and Indian culture – she is one of the defining voices of any generation, and she has passed away aged 92. Spanning eight decades, Bhosle recorded tens of thousands of songs and…

One thing that’s really nice about The Lemon Twigs, is just how prolific they are. They always seem to have new music out, which keeps us (and them) entertained. And the quality isn’t letting up, which is pretty remarkable. They have a new LP coming out called ‘Look For Your Mind’ and there’s already singles…
-
Kelela is back, and it’s a little bit different from the artist you knew. She’s burned down her socials and whatnot, to start afresh, which would point to her releasing a new album, or new ‘era’ if that’s your thing. You can listen to ‘Idea 1’ right now, of which she says is about “what…

The latest radio show is here made by us – FREE RANGE / APRIL 2026 – and there’s loads of good music to be had and listened to for free, because that’s how we do things here, right? No sponsors – do it for the love of the game. There’s music from Trinidad, Brazil, Niger,…
STOP HOARDING TUNES

TG.BLK KENYAN RAP R&B IS GREAT
We were reading about tg.blk over at another site and liked what we heard. Instead of hoarding this information to ourselves, we thought we would share it here, because that’s what good people do. Seriously – stop hoarding music to yourself – nobody wins when you do that. tg.blk have a new six track EP…

DOECHII NEW ONE SLAPS
Doechii has called herself a number of things over the years – the one we like best is “the trap Grace Jones” – and if that’s piqued your interest, shall we get onto the lovely business of a new record to listen to? She’s got a new one out called ‘Nissan Altima’, which to the…

UPPERS ONLY FROM CONFIDENCE MAN (AGAIN)
It is kinda funny that Charli XCX announced BRAT SUMMER when Confidence Man have been acting up for ages now, sneering and partying like the world might end tomorrow. With that, they’ve got a new song out called ‘SO WHAT’ which is the usual mixture of pouting and hedonism which is difficult to pull off…

BLESSED MADONNA BOP
After a well advised name-change, The Blessed Madonna has a new track out and it sounds like a weekend banger to us. It is called ‘Godspeed’ and features DJ E-Clyps. Very nice. The Blessed Madonna will be releasing her first full length LP and that’ll drop in October so we’ve a while to wait yet.…
